Flick defends decision to continue playing Yamal

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has played down concerns about overworking 17-year-old wonderkid Lamine Yamal.

Yamal has been a standout performer for Barca this season, featuring in all seven of the team’s matches across all competitions after an impressive summer with Spain, helping win Euro 2024.

The young winger has already tallied four goals and five assists this term, earning praise for his remarkable work on the field.

Speaking to the media, Flick said: “We have all the data from the players and at the moment it’s not like that, that he needs a rest.

“At the moment, everything is fine. He feels good. I don’t think that [against Getafe] he needs a rest. It’s also important playing at home to start well with a great team.

“What Lamine Yamal is doing this season is unbelievable.

🔵🔴 Lamine Yamal is already now the best player in the world or he’s too young?

“The quality has nothing to say about the age; at his age, he is really unbelievable, doing great things.

“Is he the best [in the world]? I think he could be the best player in the future, 100%.”

Yamal was instrumental in Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Villarreal last weekend.

He hit the post, won a penalty, and assisted on the fifth goal.

But he has also has been on the receiving end of several hard tackles as opposing players grow frustrated with his skill and pace.

However, Flick expressed confidence in the referees to manage the situation and protect the young star.
